I loved this purse. It will be my next project.

[cupcakeonawire]

@dgillihan1 I'm so glad to hear! If you do, let me know how it goes for you :D x

[cupcakesandscissors]

seriously one day i will learn how to sew, i really admire your ability to measure and cut precisely, that sounds weird but i'm a pretty crafty person but one thing i'm terrible at is math and figuring out measuring and things. i normally make my own halloween costumes but i safety pin/glue gun them together. i cant wait to see the finished products!

[cupcakeonawire]

@cupcakesandscissors i love making halloweenie costumes too... i didn't get a chance to last year (because of xcountry move), but i usually just baste stitch everything and hem the fabric with a hot glue gun <- because i'm *super* lazy .... my dad is a "math dude" so i guess i must get it from him lol i meant to show how i came up with the pattern, but i just didn't have time yesterday:( i'm thinking about putting it in the part 3 just to show how i got from point a to b ya know...

[daisylocust]

I "sew" want to make my own purse now!! cant wait to see the finished product, looks like fun!

[cupcakesandscissors]

@cupcakeonawire that would be helpful! i'd love to see how you came up with the pattern. it's so much fun making halloween costumes, i did it in college with my roommates and i still do it with my friends that live in the area.

@yellownudge it was $4.25usd for the 1/2 yard plus shipping came out to a little under $7usd.... it is a rare print and imported and i just *couldn't* resist ;)

[yellownudge]

@cupcakeonawire I really look forward to it, you really had me wanting to watch more, well done n_n

How much did your fabric cost you by the way?

[cupcakeonawire]

@danger0usperson heh thanks :) ... to tell the truth it was out of desperation of not being able to find exactly what purse i wanted... i scoured the internet for a few weeks and no luck so i was just like, "how hard can it be... ?" :D

[danger0usperson]

your too damn creative.

makin your own purse & such heh.
